Hi,
As a newbe in networking I try to set up an old 486 computer 
as a diskless x-terminal for my linuxbox.

I found the netboot -package and I have succeded in creating a
floppy-boot-disk.

Now I have problems with the configuration of /etc/bootptab.

Can someone give me an example for a simple configuration.  I want to
boot with a floppy-disk (I have made it with mknbi-linux -d rom -i rom
-k zImage -o bootImage ) Is it necessary to define a default gateway
and is this the gateway to the internet?

I am working with a P133 (as server) and Debian slink 2.0.36-Kernel and an
ethernet ne2000 clone.

Thank you
Stefan Thull

PS: I have not found the INSTALL-file of netboot in my netboot-package.
Can I get it elsewhere?
